´
or
gram
Meter
3.Worsted count NeK=
Pound x 560
Yard
4.Woolen count =
Pound x 256
Yard
5.Linen count, NeL =
Pound x 300
Yard
Direct system
1.Tex, Tt =
Meter
1000 x Gram
2.Denier, D or Td =
Meter
9000 x Gram
3.Decitex or dtex =
Meter
10000 x Gram
4.Militex or mtex =
Meter
1000 1000 x Gram ´
5.Kilotex or ktex =
1000 Meter
1000 x Gram
´
=

Gram
6.Jute count =
Yard
14400 x Pound
Important conversions!
Denier = 9 x Tex
Ne x Denier = 5315
Metric x Tex = 1000
Tex x Ne = 590.5
Ne = Metric x 0.5905
Metric x Denier = 9000
Tex = 34.45 x (lbs/spindle)
